Ecoist_Stories

Abigail is the daughter of a once proud but now dying pack, a pack that would do anything to restore their position amongst the greatest packs once again.

But luckily for them, Abigail catches the attention of Darius, alpha of the most powerful and dangerous pack in America. 

She is at once given to him as a bargaining chip more so than a bride, as a means to cement her pack's relationship with that of Darius'.

Now Abigail will have to survive this prison she calls a marriage to the monster wolf Darius, while also trying to suppress her feelings for her true mate Elias.

But this is easier said than done, because amidst finding the secrets to her past, and plotting with her true mate to escape and bring down Darius, she will find herself bearing feelings towards him, and learn everything to be more complex than she initially thought.

And it all starts with Abigail trying to make Darius fall for her.

"I don't know how you got that idea into your pretty head, but Darius doesn't fall in love."

"There's a first time for everything."

"A first time huh?" Darius' voice echoes into my ears.

"You have two months to make me fall for you. But if you fail, I'll kill your best friend Rosemary, her mate, and every member of your pack."

Mated To The Wrong Alpha

The air surrounding me becomes tense and so do I.

How am I supposed to answer this question?

"I..." Have to say something, but, what could I possibly say?

The image of Darius' death haunts me.

If...I don't do this, he'll be killed.

"I...wouldn't ever betray you, even if a gun was pointed at my head." What am I saying? I'm lying...or, am I?

"I love you Darius, I love you so much it's maddening. And seeing you get hurt, would put an end to my life." Call me out, call me out on my lies.

I say to myself, shutting my lids as I feel a tear sliding down my right eye.

My heart jolts for a split second when I feel something on my cheek, not too long after, I discover it to be his hand, even before I open my eyes, but when I do, I find Darius' face only a centimeter or two away from mine.
